Calculate ICA Sample Clauses

Calculate ICA. It is a quite common misconception in qualitative research that no numerical calculations can be performed for the study. Qualitative research aims to understand very complex an unstructured phenomena, for which a semantic analysis of the different facets and their variations is required. However, by no means this implies that no mathematical measures can be obtained for controlling the process. Due to its broad and flexible nature, qualitative research is highly sensible to introduce biases in the judgements of the researchers, so it is mandatory to supervise the research through some reliability measure that are usually numerical [25]. In this way, the quantitative approach takes place in a higher level, as meta- analysis of the conducted process in order to guarantee mathematical reliability in the drawn conclusions. Only when this formal quality assurance process is satisfactory, researchers can trust in the conclusions and the method is sound and complete. Therefore, to avoid biases and be confident that the codes mean the same to anyone who uses them, it is necessary to build that confidence. According to Krippendorff [25], reliabil- ity grounds this confidence empirically and offers the certainty that research findings can be reproduced. In the presented example about a DevOps case study, we used Inter-Coder Agreement (ICA) analysis techniques for testing the reliability of the obtained codebook. In this way, after coding, another researcher, R4, calculated and interpreted the ICA between C1 and C2. If coders did not reach an acceptable level of reliability, R1 analyzes the disagreements pointed out by R4 to find out why C1 and C2 had not understood a code in the same mode. Using this acquired knowledge, R1 delivers a refined new version of the codebook and the accompanying use instructions. R1 also reviews the codification of those quotations that led to disagreement between C1 and C2, modifying it according to the new codebook when necessary. Notice that, if a code disappears in the new version of the codebook, it also must disappear of all the quotations that were asigned with it. At this point, C1 and C2 can continue coding on a new subset of interviews transcriptions. This process is repeated until the ICA reached an acceptable level of reliability (typicall ≥ 0.8). In Section 5.3 it is provided a detailed explanation about how to compute and interpret ICA coeffients in Atlas.

Related to Calculate ICA

  • Calculation Any figure or percentage referred to in this Agreement shall be carried to seven decimal places.

  • Calculation Dates The interest rate applicable to each Interest Reset Period will be determined by the Calculation Agent on or prior to the Calculation Date (as defined below), except with respect to LIBOR, which will be determined on the particular Interest Determination Date. Upon request of the Holder of a Floating Rate Note, the Calculation Agent will disclose the interest rate then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as a result of a determination made for the next succeeding Interest Reset Date with respect to such Floating Rate Note. The “Calculation Date”, if applicable, pertaining to any Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of: (1) the tenth calendar day after the particular Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day; or (2) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be.

  • Interest Calculation Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the outstanding principal balance.

  • Performance Adjustment Rate Except as otherwise provided in sub-paragraph (e) of this paragraph 3, the Performance Adjustment Rate is 0.02% for each percentage point (the performance of the Portfolio and the Index each being calculated to the nearest .01%) that the Portfolio's investment performance for the performance period was better or worse than the record of the Index as then constituted. The maximum performance adjustment rate is 0.20%. For purposes of calculating the performance adjustment of the portfolio, the portfolio's investment performance will be based on the performance of the retail class. The performance period will commence with the first day of the first full month following the retail class's commencement of operations. During the first eleven months of the performance period for the retail class, there will be no performance adjustment. Starting with the twelfth month of the performance period, the performance adjustment will take effect. Following the twelfth month a new month will be added to the performance period until the performance period equals 36 months. Thereafter the performance period will consist of the current month plus the previous 35 months. The Portfolio's investment performance will be measured by comparing (i) the opening net asset value of one share of the retail class of the Portfolio on the first business day of the performance period with (ii) the closing net asset value of one share of the retail class of the Portfolio as of the last business day of such period. In computing the investment performance of the retail class of the Portfolio and the investment record of the Index, distributions of realized capital gains, the value of capital gains taxes per share paid or payable on undistributed realized long-term capital gains accumulated to the end of such period and dividends paid out of investment income on the part of the Portfolio, and all cash distributions of the securities included in the Index, will be treated as reinvested in accordance with Rule 205-1 or any other applicable rules under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as the same from time to time may be amended.

  • Calculation of Charges Contractor shall provide an invoice to the City on a monthly basis for goods delivered and/or Services completed in the immediate preceding month, unless a different schedule is set out in Appendix B, “Calculation of Charges.” Compensation shall be made for goods and/or Services identified in the invoice that the City, in his or her sole discretion, concludes has been satisfactorily performed. In no event shall the amount of this Agreement exceed [insert whole dollar amount in numbers and words -- no pennies and no “.00”]. The breakdown of charges associated with this Agreement appears in Appendix B, “Calculation of Charges.” A portion of payment may be withheld until conclusion of the Agreement if agreed to by both Parties as retainage, described in Appendix B. In no event shall City be liable for interest or late charges for any late payments. City will not honor minimum service order charges for any services covered by this Agreement.
